While walking to school together, Daigo reiterates his discontent that Kazuma rejected Madoka. As Kazuma tries to explain otherwise, Madoka happily catches up to them. Ibuki and Ui walk home together after class and Ibuki neutrally warns Ui that unless she confesses to Kazuma soon, someone else might, herself included. That night, as both girls ponder the conversation, Ayumu calls Ui and asks if she will model for him the next day. Having been shooed out of the Inn, Kazuma decides to visit the shopping district, where he bumps into Ibuki. The two go to Honchou together and spend the day playing arcade games, trying on clothes, dining, and singing karaoke. Back at the house, Ayumu takes a break and sits with Ui who is surprised to learn that the drawing is a gift for Kazuma, as he believes they're dating. As evening closes in, Ui says her farewells and walks home, upset. Sitting at the park, Ibuki happily thanks Kazuma for an enjoyable outing, jokingly describes the two of them as a couple and though serious, playfully asks him out. He turns down the offer and leaves; though a minute or so later, he runs back to apologize. Fighting the urge to cry, Ibuki, heartbroken, maintains that her offer was a joke and returns home as rainclouds drench her. Having returned home, Ui thinks back on her behavior when her brother married and calls him. To her surprise, she learns that his wife, Kuriko, is pregnant. Early the following morning Ibuki heads to the overlook to vent about Kazuma. As she heads to school, Ui catches up to her, overjoyed that she is going to be an aunt.
